Women Pirates and the Politics of the Jolly Roger - Softcover

"Lively and exciting. A hearty read which I recommend."—Feminist Bookstore News

"Carefully researched and vividly told."—In These Times

"The language is blunt, poetic and innocent of academic jargon. Includes regional recipes; readers will want to try Piquant Shark Schnitzel from the Caribbean."—Rain Taxi

"A fascinating book . . . the offbeat subject makes for provocative reading."—Rapport Magazine

An account of piracy through three millennia, in histories of women and men sailing on four seas. Writing with passion and humor, but without romanticizing or ignoring the unsavory side of some of their heroines, the authors turn history on its head.
